Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Platform
all
App version
5.8.1
Feature
There is currently no way to make it so that nobody is able to delete anyone else's messages, which is an extremely crucial for many, even most, groups to have. It needs to be possible to add other members without being able to delete just anyone's messages.

Research direction
The issue does not name implementation files, tests, or entry points. Begin by tracing how group membership permissions and message deletion are currently handled across the all-platform app, then define the separate permission behavior and verify that members can be added without granting authority to delete others' messages.
